President Chavez has harangued his United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) candidates stating that it is possible to win all State Governorships and municipalities in the country. Speaking a week after the electoral campaign officially opened, President Chavez says what is important this time round is to unite revolutionary and socialist conscience and that means "working very hard each hour and each minute with conscience, with ideas and taking the battle to the whole country." The President admits that political consciousness among his followers is "not totally awake" and at the required level and he calls on candidates to avoid the pitfall of triumphalism in their campaign. Chavez points out that the main cause of desertions has been ideological and warns candidates not to surround themselves with the petite bourgeoisie, which will always end up being anti-revolutionary. Chavez' message is summarized in the following manner: candidates must not to betray the people. It has been revealed that the President of China, Hu Jintao suggested to President Chavez during the latter's visit to Beijing setting up a mechanism of cooperation and relations between the Chinese Communist Party and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) as a means of strengthening relations between the two countries. President Chavez made the statement during a meeting of PSUV activists in Caracas. Chavez says that the PSUV has made a big impact on the world because of the way it was created and the strength it has acquired. The surprise revelation follows news reports indicating that Chinese leaders had stated that they do not necessarily agree with all of Chavez' ideological assumptions.
Fishermen in the states of Anzoategui and Sucre are complaining about a growing threat from pirates in the area. In Anzoategui this year, three industrial fishing boats have been attacked on the open sea, losing all the fish they had captured worth around (Bs.F) 150 million bolivares. Anzoategui Fishing Association director, Vicente Avallone says the attacks have been prevalent since April and he himself has suffered from one such raid, which, he states, are becoming a daily occurrence. At the beginning of September, Avallone's fishing boat was intercepted by three launches and boarded by 12 heavily armed men, who unloaded 3,500 kg of fish, valued at 60,000 bolivares. One group of pirates operating in Sucre state was dismantled last year.
Liliana Hernandez has clinched the opposition candidacy of the (Caracas) Chacao Mayor's Office after a grueling and bitter internal struggle with rival candidates. Launching her campaign with a cavalcade through the municipality, Hernandez highlights the importance of women in the political life of Venezuela. Hernandez insists that she was far ahead of her rivals in a poll survey in April and therefore has earned the right to represent the opposition in Chacao. One of her first criticisms was towards Interior & Justice Minister, Tarik El Aissami and his accusations that opposition groups are planning to assassinate President Chavez. In a remarkable statement demonstrating her closed vision of Venezuela's political realities, Hernandez claims that Chavez has done nothing for Venezuela in the 10 years he has been in office, adding that from here to 2012 he will not achieve anything either and has no intention of doing so.

Venezuela is facing the most difficult period of its history with honest reporters crippled by sectarianism on top of rampant corruption within the administration and beyond, aided and abetted by criminal forces in the US and Spanish governments which cannot accept the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people to decide over their own future.
